A Stored Wedding Ring.

In almost all Of the marriages which
take place at Castle Garden 4 police
man is obliged to act rs best man to the
bridegroom. This is because these we'd
dinos are q kind OF leap year observance
in which the man is wOocd and IN
which the Castle Garden detectives lend
their official influence to the lady SUIT
Detective Groden has been at Castle
Garden good many years, has wit
messed great many weddings, and has
had the privilege also OF kissing the
bride. In the Catholic marriage service
a ring is Indispensable. and often IN the
hurry of IN enforced wedding bride
groOmS have neglected to provide the
requisite. Detective Groden, III fact,
has had, many times to hunt up a ring
to the delay of the nuptials. Seven or
eight years ago it occurred to him that
a property ring, so to speak, would be 6
convenience, and so he bought one that
had all the appearance OF gold. That
it is really base metal he regards as 4
matter of no consequence TO the brides
who wear it for moment. 1t is ring
and it is big enough for the finger OF
any bride.
When Mr.. Groden bought this plain
plated imitation wedding ring, he said
to himself that this circIet was likely 10
make romantic history for itself and
so he laid it away in his desk and kept
a record of the number of times it was
used and the names of the contracting
parties whose names were sOlemnized
with this same ring. Marriages are
reasonably frequent at Castle Garden,
and, during the seven. or eight years
that this ring has been in use, have
averaged nearly one week. A we'd
ding on Wednesday was the 354th in
the history of the ring, and the gilt has
not yet worn off ~. T. San.

The Use Of Snakes.

Persons who dislike snakes cOntinu-

That they are not without use will,
were it necessary to preach that all

that offended Lord Bacon, namely, OF
going on their belly" lies one OF their
greatest uses, because that. together
with their internal formation and en-
ternal covering, enables them 10 pene-

Outbalance the harmony Of nature, die
and produce pestilence. Wondrously
and exquisitely constructed for their
habit, they are to exist where the higher
animals could not. and while they help
to clear those inaccessible places of the
lesser vermin, they themselves supply
food for n number of smaller manual lie
